You may be using clang++ to compile the code, or just accessing headers from doxygen, or maybe testing an alternate version of g++ from copr, i.e. with a different package name… I also think that it doesn't make sense to pull in the compiler from a -devel package because you need so many other things: a linker, make or ninja, maybe meson/autotoolz/cmake/ant/whatever, so pulling in cmake+g++ is not enough in some cases and too much in other. > That said, for CMake, this is not currently part of the AutoRequires, that > only drags in cmake-filesystem for directory ownership (and in fact, I guess > directory ownership is a reason for the pkg-config AutoRequires too), any > Requires: cmake is manually added.
